When I did the original version of the cheesy poofs, I decided I should roll them in Parmesan before baking them.
Yup. Definitely a winner. Just look at those things.
Directions
Go look up the previous version for the ingredients and directions. (Add the salt to the dough, like I said then.) The only change here is, after rolling them out, put some grated Parmesan in a shallow bowl and roll the poofs in it.
Bake the same way as before.
And that's it.
These things are so addictive.

Oh now I have to tell my cousin about these. He runs his own dairy & cheese company in California. They are always looking for more cheese recipes.
I made these after your previous post. I made some with parm and some without, and I think I liked them better without. It was a bit too much for me with two kinds of cheese! Very tasty though, and crunchy - we liked the general recipe a lot!
Could the dough be wrapped around green olives stuffed with garlic, or olives stuffed with (gasp!) blue cheese? Thanks for the inspiration, it's going to be a experimental cheesy poof/brownie weekend.
Wow, Drew--these bring back memories! My mom has been making these w/paprika sans parm since the 70s--a go to party recipe. And Erin, she wrapped her dough around olives. People love them. One of my friends calls it "crack" and asked my mom to make her some. So she did--she is a Nice Lady! I don't like olives so I give them to my husband and just eat the cheesy part! :)
Stephanie, I know what you mean. I've got a cousin who works at Heluva Good.
Stef, different strokes for different folks. Next up (I think) will be swapping out (some of?) the cheddar for feta.
Erin, looks like Jenni already answered your question. And I have to agree with her. They might come out just fine, but I'm not an olive fan. Let me know how your group likes them.
My grandmother made cheese straws with a little hint of cayenne. They were by far my favorite thing to snack on growing up and we'd fight over them! I never got her recipe, but have tried a few here and there. This looks SO easy because there is no rolling out so I'm all over this one with the addition of a little cayenne. Thanks Drew!
They look terrific and I will definitely try my hand at them.
Have you ever made cheese 'crackers'? I've got the receipe and they're fun also.

:drool: This is the 2nd time I've seen this recipe in the past month and now I'm going to have to give into my craving and make them! : )
Thanks for reminding me about these. My mom, too, made them wrapped around green olives and they were great!
I have to say its a lot of work to click on the old recipe. At that point I normally would have opted out, but these babies are amazing and I am bookmarking them to make at my next party. Might be good with rosemary or tarragon. what do you think?

Morta, I'd try these with just about any herbs and spices. You can do it really basic, and swap in different cheeses and spices to your heart's content.
Being the cheese hound that I am, this is an awesome recipe and I plan to add it to my repertoire of appetizers. Thanks for the beautiful photos and demonstration of how to make those delicious little packages called cheesy poofs!
Lol I made these yesterday and some double cheese dip to go with them, there is no such thing as too much cheese!!! http://kyrieeleison2008.blogspot.com/2009/07/generic-asian-veggie-fry-from-scratch-3.html
Chocoletesa, cheese dip, that's what they need! We tried ranch, honey mustard, dill ... what they need is more cheese. Thanks.
Lolll!
I made these today, and I am in the minority but I didn't like them that much. They were almost but not quote biscuits, in a way that didn't appeal to me.
Alanna, it would be a boring world if we all liked the same things. Sorry these didn't work out for you.
These are stupid good with a bowl of chili. Just sayin'. I wonder if you could wrap them around cocktail weeners. Hmmmmmmm....My arteries go clang just thinking about it.
Dani, wrapped around mini weenies and dipped in chili. Oh. My. God. I have to go get some weenies.
